Screw Back Earrings 101: Style, Comfort, and Security

Ever catch yourself checking your ears like you misplaced your car keys? You’re not alone. We've all been there – that moment when you reach up and realize… one of your favorite earrings is missing. But what if we told you there's a better way? Let’s talk screw back earrings: the unsung heroes of secure style that work as hard as you do.

What are screw back earrings, and why are they a game-changer?

Okay, quick refresher. Screw back earrings are exactly what they sound like – they have a threaded post that twists into the backing. This keeps your earring securely in place, even through a busy day full of Zoom calls, grocery runs, gym sessions, dog walks, toddler wrangling… you name it. Unlike the typical push backs that seem to vanish whenever you need them most, screw backs keep things locked down. 

Now let’s get into why they’re worth adding to your jewelry box. 

Why screw back earrings are the perfect everyday essential

Stay-put security

Screw backs are designed to stay exactly where they should. They’re the perfect choice if you’re tired of constantly adjusting or worrying about your earrings – these won’t budge even on those days that keep you moving.

Comfort you can count on

Like all flat back earrings, with screw backs, there’s no digging or discomfort. Instead, you get a smooth, comfortable fit that lets you wear your earrings all day (and night) without a second thought. And if you’re sensitive to certain materials, no worries – our collection includes hypoallergenic options that keep things irritation-free.

Easy to wear, even easier to love

Stylish yet effortless – it’s the jewelry equivalent of a messy bun that somehow looks red-carpet ready. Screw backs are secure enough for casual wear and elegant enough for any special occasion. Plus, they’re ideal for anyone who appreciates a bit of style without sacrificing practicality.

Screw back earrings vs. push backs – how do they compare?

When it comes to choosing the right earring back, screw backs and push backs each bring something different to the table. But if you want the perfect mix of comfort, security, and peace of mind, screw back earrings come out on top. Here’s why:

Screw back earrings:
As we’ve already covered, screw back earrings are the MVP when it comes to security. The threaded post locks everything in place so you don’t have to worry about your earrings slipping off at the worst possible moment. No more chasing after lost backs or awkward adjustments mid-conversation.

For new piercings in particular, screw backs are a great choice because their smooth design promotes faster healing and reduces irritation. They prevent the discomfort that comes from traditional push backs, which can sometimes poke or press into your skin while the piercing site is still tender. They’re also ideal for advanced piercings like conch, tragus, and helix, where healing takes longer and extra comfort is key.

Push back earrings:
Now, let’s not forget about push backs. While they may not have the same level of security as screw backs, they definitely have their moments. For one, they’re incredibly easy to pop on and take off – no twisting or threading required. If you’re someone who’s always in a rush or just needs a quick and simple option, push backs offer the ultimate hassle-free experience.

Push back earrings are also great for casual piercings like earlobes, where the added comfort of screw backs might not be as necessary. And if you love changing up your jewelry look often, push backs are perfect for fast swaps without the fuss.

In the end, screw backs and push backs both have their strengths – it just comes down to what you value more: maximum security and comfort or ease and convenience. Either way, you’ve got options!
